I have recently purchased a Orbi RBR50 (router + 1 satellite). When I test the internet speed at the router through the Orbi app I measure: download speed of 550mbps or above and upload of 900mbps or above. However I have tried to connect various devices in all kind of positions and distances in my apartment and the maximum speed I reach through wifi is ~300mbps. Is it normal to lose almost 50% of speed even when there are no obstacles between the devices?
Is it the actual 'speed' you're concerned about or the 'connection'?
Do your devices work? Can you reach the internet? No bufferring?
